Win tickets to see Spring Awakening at MomHouston

Spring Awakening: masturbation, sex and teenage angst set to a rock-n-roll soundtrack.

It’s nearing the end of MomHouston’s six-week series on parenting teens inspired by the musical Spring Awakening. If we haven’t scared you off with our series already, enter to win tickets to see the show when it comes to Houston this January.

The issues and struggles teens face haven’t changed much in the more than 100 years since Frank Wedekind wrote this controversial play. Teens still masturbate, have sex, get pregnant, get depressed, curse and rebel against authority.

Warning: the play is gritty. There is on-stage nudity. And sex. And cursing. The topics are uncomfortable, but for parents (and teens) the consequences of ignoring these issues can be profound.

So if you have a mature older teen, see the show with him or her. It may just remind you of yourself when you were that age, and the discussion it’s sure to spark may just be an opportunity to learn more about what your kid is dealing with.
